The identities between the symmetric polynomials Pi_k(x_1,...,x_n) and the sums of kth powers of their variables S_k(x_1,...,x_n)=sum_(j=1)^nx_j^k. (1) The identities are ...

If each of two nonparallel transversals with nonminimal directions meets a given curve in finite points only, then the ratio of products of the distances from the two sets of ...

The nth cubic number n^3 is a sum of n consecutive odd numbers, for example 1^3 = 1 (1) 2^3 = 3+5 (2) 3^3 = 7+9+11 (3) 4^3 = 13+15+17+19, (4) etc. This identity follows from ...

The set of nilpotent elements in a commutative ring is an ideal, and it is called the nilradical. Another equivalent description is that it is the intersection of the prime ...

Any cubic curve that passes through eight of the nine intersections of two given cubic curves automatically passes through the ninth.

If two curves phi and psi of multiplicities r_i!=0 and s_i!=0 have only ordinary points or ordinary singular points and cusps in common, then every curve which has at least ...

Any irreducible curve may be carried by a factorable Cremona transformation into one with none but ordinary singular points.

A group or other algebraic object is called non-Abelian if the law of commutativity does not always hold, i.e., if the object is not Abelian. For example, the group of ...

A normal extension is the splitting field for a collection of polynomials. In the case of a finite algebraic extension, only one polynomial is necessary.

Let G be a group with normal series (A_0, A_1, ..., A_r). A normal factor of G is a quotient group A_(k+1)/A_k for some index k<r. G is a solvable group iff all normal ...
